The Echo Valley Ranch and Spa near Clinton, BC is a unique place to
visit with its incredible views and amenities. I went there to do some horseback riding but quickly discovered it some other features that make it quite unique. It has a beautiful lodge and
even a Ban Tai Spa which was designed by the architect to the Thai royal
family. The ranch also has cattle, falcons, a herd of border collies
and the noisiest turkeys ever!

I flew up to Anahim Lake and then drove over to Nimpo Lake for an incredible float plane flight over the wild 1300 ft Hunlen Falls in Tweetsmuir Park. Absolutely amazing view from the airplane as we stared straight down the falls while the plane banked sideways!

I live in Squamish and so I was was very thankful to hear that the Paralympic torch relay was going to come through town on Sunday, March 7th.
The flame was lit by members of the Squamish Nation and then brought by
canoe across the water to the downtown celebration. The Paralympic
torch was ignited and then brought through the streets by individuals
each having a personal story of overcoming obstacles and finding
inspiration. An incredibly memorable day for Squamish!

I took a trip down to Stanley Park on a Saturday raining morning and stopped in for a visit at the Vancouver Aquarium. The exhibits were amazing! Especially the jellyfish and the Beluga Whales! And the sea otters! Actually it was all pretty incredible, the tanks are huge and you feel like you're almost inside with the sea life. I then tour around Stanley Park a bit to see the Totems, some of the statues and the famous Hollow Tree.

I received an email from some friends that decided they wanted to show their enthusiasm and appreciation for Maelle Ricker's Olympic Gold Medal effort in winning the Snowboard Cross event. They painted a huge banner and then climbed up the face of the Squamish Chief and hung it for all to see! Maelle Ricker Rocks!

I started down at Stanley Park in Vancouver and then took a drive over the Lions Gate Bridge and then up to the Sea to Sky Highway. It was amazing, I stopped at a few of the towns alongs the way and checked out some of the viewpoints and attractions that line the highway. The weather turned on me just as I reached Squamish and the incredible massive of the Stawamus Chief but the mountain peaks were still visible through the clouds! Beautiful drive!
